If you guys have any, you know, thoughts in the comments about how you would translate

33 last month and here are the things I regret.
00:00:47.600
Number one, I regret not learning how to actually make my knowledge money.
00:00:53.160
All my life I've been taught that it's very bad to want money.
00:00:56.540
as a woman you should want family and love and if you want money you are a bad person i was told to
00:01:02.620
go to the university i went i have two university level degrees bachelor degree master degree
00:01:08.140
education is definitely needed but honestly i never thought that i need my skills to create
00:01:14.140
system that's gonna constantly bring me money after having master's degree i chose to go to
00:01:19.660
cosmetology school because i felt like i have to work hard to make money and i have to have a
00:01:24.380
business so i was like i want to have a beauty salon i did not think about that by choosing
00:01:29.500
cosmetology career my job will be to physically give my body somewhere and physically do physical
00:01:37.260
labor that's why creating s i like how women call cosmetology school physical labor that's incredible
0.99
00:01:43.740
system that's gonna bring me money without me physically standing somewhere that was very
0.99
00:01:49.340
important if you if you're thinking to go to a cosmetology school or do physical labor think
00:01:54.300
about that you will have to most of your life and and standing in oh my gosh that is
00:02:04.300
of all the things to regret if your body physically not working you're not eating so having a degree
00:02:10.220
and using a degree is two different things and you should think which degree you can actually
00:02:15.980
use to make this system for you number two i regret not having kids earlier of course it's
00:02:21.100
sensitive topic but now i'm 33 i'm with my partner for four years we're trying to have a child and
00:02:27.260
i've always wanted to have kids before i'm 30 and again if i would have kids before i'm 30 no matter
00:02:33.980
how i would feel much better i feel like after 30 i should be focused on different things and i'm
00:02:39.260
still stuck in my 20s again i don't really hang out with my friends i don't really have any friends
00:02:44.460
who has no kids and your body is changing you're tired if before it didn't matter i could plan
00:02:50.060
anything i want right now after 30 i have only certain amount of energy i can spend and i have
00:02:56.260
to choose the tasks during the day so having a child is going to be much more much much more
00:03:01.720
physically and mentally challenging than it's in in your 20s and i thought i should live my life
00:03:06.580
and travel and it's so nice and everyone was building families raising kids when i was
00:03:11.500
traveling but now what i see is that i'll have to face challenges of raising a child after 30
00:03:17.020
well all my friends already traveling with their kids or they have nannies they have business so
00:03:22.720
kids are not a problem for you to care who are your friends it sounds like none of them are
00:03:27.260
raising their kids all the things you want to do if go back to number one you chose your career
00:03:33.020
wisely and and your kids are more likely to have autism understand that you have okay so she wishes
00:03:37.780
she has kids sooner all right well fair enough all right next lady right here went into my 30s
00:03:43.220
with absolutely no tattoos i went into my 31st year and just said go big or go home we're gonna
1.00
00:03:48.800
start our tattoo journey and go straight for the hand i just why do women have journeys and you
00:03:55.260
know what's the worst part about making a mistake in your 30s is you had 10 years to figure out how
1.00
00:03:59.100
to not make mistakes in your 30s and yet you know she watched all of her friends get tattoos regret
00:04:04.200
it and then still was like f it i'm gonna do it too because i love hand tattoos so as you can
00:04:09.240
imagine the first question out of most people's mouth is what if you regret it what if it's not
00:04:14.280
in style five years from now so like any other regret i have in my life i'll just use humor to
00:04:20.920
cope and i'll just get funnier so that's a win secondly my personality is always in style oh my
00:04:27.560
god look at her face okay next my biggest regret having kids later in life let's see her is my
00:04:33.560
biggest regret about having kids later in life. So I had my first daughter when I was 34. I had
00:04:40.200
my second daughter when I was 36. I'm now 37. And we waited to have kids intentionally. It's
00:04:48.680
something we talked about, prayed about, but I really wanted to be financially stable before we
00:04:52.820
had kids. That was the main reason. I also wanted to travel and enjoy being married. So we were
00:04:57.100
married almost 10 years before we had our children. And there's a lot to be said for
00:05:02.100
reading. This generally means that the woman was looking for a better option on the side.

00:05:07.600
Many of the things women find attractive take years to achieve and acquire. Becoming attractive
00:05:13.140
takes long hours in the gym and long hours at work to get the looks and the status that women
0.84
00:05:18.160
desire. You may be thinking, what can I do to help my current chances in the modern dating market?
0.85
00:05:24.460
The answer is to take better care of your skin. The truth is women notice things like better skin
1.00
00:05:30.900
immediately. Your skin, your face, how healthy you are, and put together you look. It matters

00:06:51.300
couldn't find it um usually women i mean it's the same reason why women get pregnant by nba players
1.00
00:06:56.260
fast. Usually when a woman's sure about a guy, the pregnancy happens relatively quickly.
1.00
00:07:03.740
To have kids, there are many benefits like financial stability, maturity, all of those
0.92
00:07:07.800
things. But this is my regret. I genuinely regret not having them sooner. And here's why.
00:07:15.700
When you're a female, especially if you wait to have kids until you're mid to late 30s,
0.97
00:07:19.840
as you know your risk of complicated pregnancies birth defects genetic disorders those go up as
00:07:26.900
you age your chances of pregnant getting pregnant goes down and you're just more tired you're more
00:07:32.820
exhausted it's harder on your body and usually fatter Giselle Buttigieg or whatever had a kid
1.00
00:07:39.560
in her 40s but it's like she's been thin her whole life ladies have you have you been thin
1.00
00:07:44.000
your whole life no 19% body fat no I haven't and the thing is we absolutely love having kids and
00:07:50.920
I kind of have this feeling like if we would have had kids five years sooner or 10 years sooner
00:07:55.680
we would probably have another kid or two because we just love our children so much and something
00:08:01.740
that people don't talk about or tell you about having kids and some people do I guess but it
00:08:06.820
just gets better and better our three and a half year old is absolutely amazing I know I'm biased
00:08:11.560
because i'm her mom but she has the coolest personality she's so fun she's fun to hang out
00:08:16.760
with and she's just like your little buddy that you want to do everything with it's amazing and
00:08:21.080
she has her own personality and it's honestly like the sweetest most incredible thing and i
00:08:26.200
do think that our culture especially in america has fed this path to women that after college
00:08:32.840
you need to focus on your career for the next 10-15 years and then maybe have a family the
00:08:38.120
focus is definitely not you know go to college and have kids and figure out career later so i went
00:08:43.800
down that path you know i had a very successful mother she's amazing she did incredible things
00:08:48.280
with her career um i went down that path as well started my own business right out of college did
00:08:55.080
that for almost 15 years built my career had a lot of purpose enjoyed what i did but i can honestly
00:09:01.000
tell you that nothing compares to the purpose contentment and joy that i experienced from
00:09:05.880
being a mom and having children and it's true you only get so many eggs you only have so much time
00:09:11.800
women have this finite window where you can get pregnant i was thinking about it we said that it's
00:09:16.440
a finite window but isn't that finite if it starts at like 14 and it goes to 34 i was thinking about
00:09:22.600
this the other day i'm like it goes to like 40 that's i obviously um it's mostly before 30 35
00:09:31.240
whatever but i was thinking i'm like i don't know if it's as finite like the way we describe it i
00:09:36.280
just don't think is that accurate it's like 20 years start a family and it's worth it yes you
00:09:43.160
know it is easy okay so she's talking easier in many ways to wait so that yeah it's either you
00:09:49.240
have financial stability or energy stability okay let's see her regret not having children when they
00:09:55.960
were younger get me wrong starting my family in my 30s was the most responsible decision like
00:10:00.680
financially mentally emotionally physically actually i lied i don't think physically i think i
00:10:05.640
just have more energy and youthfulness in my 20s but everything else like it made sense for us to
00:10:11.640
start our family in our 30s but the one thing that i think about is like as our kids get older i know
00:10:17.240
we're not going to be like old old i can't help but think like when i was younger i thought like
00:10:24.440
40s was old and i don't know i also think about like when my kids go to college and it's like
00:10:30.360
mom's weekend or whatever like when i go down there i'm like i'm feel like i'm gonna be ancient
00:10:36.760
versus my experience in college even though my mom didn't come to any of my mom's weekends like
00:10:41.480
most of the moms were like in their late 30s for me if my oldest decides to go to college
0.88
00:10:47.080
she will enter college when i'm 50. i mean i know i got the asian don't raisin effect but
0.78
00:10:54.440
what makes me the most sad is if my children yeah the other thing is um grandparents
00:11:01.800
most the next generation won't really know what it's like to have grandparents because a lot of
00:11:08.280
them will be passed away by the time they get two of age they'll remember them it's kind of like
00:11:13.020
that with me i don't really remember my most of my grandparents very well i had one grandma that
00:11:17.520
lived past well like most of my grandparents were dead by the time i was 12 i don't really remember
00:11:22.900
but I to have children like I'm gonna be old old it makes me sad makes me sad to think yeah so
00:11:30.220
anyways um all right guys do you know any women in their 30s and what are some of their regrets
00:11:35.920
um a lot of the women in their 30s seem to regret not having kids sooner so um do you know women in
00:11:40.460
their 30s um that had kids then do they regret not starting sooner let me know in the comments
